Etsy Monday stephaniecoleDESIGN

I love this designer! Charming designs on eco-friendly paper.

"British designer-maker Stephanie Cole's work predominantly explores nature and the shapes, patterns and colours which excite her most. Inspirations come from a fruitful mixture of farmer's markets, British hedgerows and thought-provoking proverbs and words of wisdom..."

Getting Ready for Mom Day

One more week to Mother's Day here in the US. Second Sunday of May is rolling up. Here are some gift wrap ideas that hopefully you can squeeze in before the big day --

I love the simplicity of this pretty package.  And if you follow this link, there are some great ideas for gifts that don't require ordering!

I always like plants. I am a Mom. Therefore, Moms always like plants! OK, maybe that logic won't help you pass an I.Q. test, but this wrapping idea is cute. Use eco-friendly ribbon or fabric scraps you have that your mother probably gave you anyway.

pinterest idea! 

So you probably don't have time to order gift wrap at this point, but this neat Gift Wrap store is really good. Nashville Wraps has eco-friendly materials and great designs. I like gift bags, always good for that last minute gift.

Watercolor Greenery paper bags are made from 100% recycled white kraft paper. Bags are 100% recyclable and contain minimum 40% PCW content and carry the Green Way ® logo. This beautiful print features lovely shades of blue and green. Available in bulk cartons, mini packs and an assortment.

And just because I love this:

SF Paper Goods has this design.

Hearts and hugs to all the moms.

Etsy Monday some Mother's Day Love at Flaherty Naturals

I found this shop looking for pretty Mother's Day wrapping and stayed for the great natural skin care products. She is offering a code for May, which I am happy to pass on to you!

Here is what FlahertyNaturals says about her shop:

"Flaherty Naturals is based in North Carolina and specializes in organic skin care products and makes Body Lotions & Oils, Bath Salts & Body Scrubs, Lip Balms, Soaps and many other organically based beauty products for natural skin care.

"Flaherty Naturals was started in 2007 because so many of my mature nail clients were allergic or sensitive to commonly used salon products. My desire to offer them a relaxing and safe spa service became the “necessity is the mother of invention” concept I adopted, and so began my researching and learning about the blending of herbs, oils, and essential oils. With over 20 years of organic gardening, and canning, and jam making, and all the other "makings" a woman does for her family, I was ready to start making healthy, healing things for the skin as well.

"Having adopted the use of a Client Service Sheet that listed my clients allergies, medications, and other information that would help me provide a pampering and safe service for them, we used that information to design the “products” needed for their services from my stock of certified organic oils, butters and essential oils. Soon I was able to offer the individualized mixing of "a blend" for my clients at the time of their services and they loved being involved in the choosing of ingredients based on their individual sensitivities.

"Many of them chose to do their own research (which I always encourage), and we would use that information to build their own customized blends. They would look through the numerous books, and other printed material on herbs and oils I had accumulated, picking out this oil for their skin condition, or that scent because it pleased their senses, and we were both delighted when the customized blend did not cause a reaction when they used it."

The wrapping for these intriguing products that caught my eye:
